1851 lookup for Rich please

[jimc]

I am looking for an Elizabeth Rich, b. 1819-24, Okehampton. I don't know her parents' names. However, her occupation may have been a cook.

Thanks,
Jim

hi jim

Checked the 1851 census and the only entry for Elizabeth Rich born in Okehampton-Dev, was 1839.

The two other entries for Elizabeth Rich 1819-1824 has one  born in Somerset the other in Birmingham, sorry I can't be of more help.

Dear Jericho,
I don't think that's her. Could I please have the details for the one in Somerset.
Thank you.
Jim

Dear Jericho,
It could be her. The age matches what I have but in subsequent censuses her place of birth is listed as Okehampton, Devon, or as Oakhampton, Som., assuming they are the same person. I cannot seem to locate a parish of Oakhampton, Som. unless it is the manor within Wiveliscombe. Needs more investigating on my part.
Thanks for your help on this.
Kind regards,
Jim
